I'm using some of those in the PureUnity framework, but I'm not taking 
that feature so seriously until I can also pass a variable number of args 
(e.g. starting at $3 until the args) to an object constructor inside an 
abstraction.

We're using SWIG to connect LTI to Ruby so that it becomes easier to 
connect to Pd, because of GridFlow.

Why do you need to bypass GridFlow, especially because you end up with
depending on SWIG instead? Depending on SWIG isn't much more "standalone".
